Old City Frozen Yogurt & Crepes

My bf and I came here for the first time on First Friday craving last minute crepes & froyo and we quickly checked reviews before stopping in – Old City Frozen Yogurt lives up to its fairly high rating; great food-​wise, had great customer service and a cute, bright atmosphere. The more classic froyo flavors (Dutch chocolate, country vanilla, strawberry) were sweet & creamy (not particularly tart). Bf loved the Grand Marnier crêpe even with its strong flavors. Service was awesome & friendly; there was only one worker in tonight who ran back and forth to make crepes, give out samples, and check people out but she was so sweet and even offered to make a second crêpe because she said the Grand Marnier looks a little flat compared to other crepes (no need — the flavors carried the crêpe). They also had beautiful teas to choose from and made an awesome latte to top off our sweet snacks!

Across the street from Sonnys! Great FroYo and the server was so nice and sweet! Ambiance was nice and calm … the Banana and Nutella Crêpe! Sooooo good! Limited toppings to choose from and limited FroYo suggestions however not bad.

I can’t take it anymore. I must confess before the Ashley Madison of the froyo world list is revealed… I cheated on Happily Ever After.
And I’m not proud of it. And not that there is ever a good excuse for dessert infidelity, but the thought of crossing over to the busier side of Market on a Saturday night with two energetic pups on a leash was too much, so I gave into the temptation of having my sweet treat fix sooner and with less complication. And I regret every spoonful of it. Particularly the graham cracker ones and kind of a little bit the cake batter ones, although not quite as much.
Old City Frozen Yogurt and I have history. We used to casually date. But it was a relationship of convenience and was bound to fizzle. Enter Happily Ever After. When it first moved into the neighborhood, it was love at first bite. And until last weekend, I never wavered from my commitment. And I never should have. Risking my glorious committed relationship with Happily Ever After’s Acai Bowl, Nutella Froyo and Nutella Cappuccino cheesecake for a subpar product at Old City Frozen Yogurt was pure stupidity. It’s as mind-​boggling as when Austin chose to be with Sami when he could have been with Carrie (shout out to Days of our Lives circa 1995).
So now, to make amends for my wrongful, philandering ways, in front of all of Unilocal,I ask, «Happily Ever After, will you make me the happiest girl in the world and spend the rest of your life catering to my sweet tooth? I promise to never wander again.»

I walked in with curiosity and hesitation but walked out knowing I just found one of the gems of the neighborhood. I can’t imagine NOT being a regular customer.

Came here with friends to enjoy some frozen yogurts in such a hot weather. Absolute disappointment! The personal is very greedy and rude!

Below average froyo. Their froyo is VERY tart. They have average toppings. If you want whipped cream, you have to specifically ask for it. When you pay, they ask for you to give at least 10% tip.
Also, while I was there, the man that was working made free smoothies for the group of girls he was clearly into (they were clearly not into him). He gave the girls free smoothies and thought this would give him an in into this group. He did not give these free smoothies to any other customer in the store.
It was not great service and not good froyo. I would never recommend.

Small froyo place with decent amount of chairs to sit and enjoy your froyo, however I was a little disappointed with how little flavors they had. I like different flavors to mix with my froyo so choosing only 2 flavors out of 6 gave this shop 3 stars. I chose the mango and strawberry topped with mochi. The strawberry froyo had a very thick texture which I wasn’t use to but I actually liked it. The mango flavor was tart and slightly thinner texture than the mango so it balanced out both textures. Aside from froyo, the shop offered crêpes and coffee. I got to taste my friends Nutella crêpes which was OK. Nothing special about it. Just plain Jane crêpe.
Overall, an OK place.

Very relaxing place and this place has the best yogurt in Philly so far that I’ve tried: D People are very nice there. I would recommend this to everyone to go.

Went into old city frozen yogurt and it was amazing all the flavors were spectacular and the toppings so many too choose from the young lady i think is the manager she was so helpful and greeted my friends and I with a smile and helped us too make a wonderful choice in our selection thumbs up she did a awesome job.

The customer service was excellent! So was the delicious watermelon blueberry smoothie!

If u wanna beat the heat and being healthy this is the place. awesome fro-​yo, delicious crepes and european style espresso that will make your day. don’t miss it. hilghy recomended

Awesome fro yo! Owner was friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place! Clean and well stocked. I ate here two nights in a row! My friend had the banana Nutella crêpe and he loved it!

Came by one rainy night and the attendant was extremely sweet and helpful. Had two crepes one sweet and one savory and was absolutely blown away by the flavors. Topped off with delicious frozen yogurt. Best place in old city even went back to catch some world cup games.

Came here during the Gay Pride parade, to use bathroom and get a refreshment. it’ is cool to note: they have frozen yogurt, fruit smoothies and coffee. Yes they even have an espresso machine. It was hot and sunny so I opted for fruit smoothie which was so refreshing. Staff was nice. Bathroom clean. Cute inside. I will come back.

What a great neighborhood frozen yogurt shop. Great selection of flavors and fresh toppings to add! Not only that but the staff/​owner couldn’t be nicer! Great option for a sweet and less fattening treat!

Lovely place to go to. Delicious service and excellent yogurt! Glad to have these guys in the neighborhood.

Good place with good taste. I would highly recommend to stop by.

There are so many froyo places in CC now — probably as many as there are cupcake bakeries (which also need to be culled)! At least for me, this means that quality is key, and quality in every sense. Old City Frozen Yogurt came into the area first as an exclusively froyo-​serving place, but they should IMHO make a few changes. I came in to the dead, empty space during the week after a grueling workout, and the lone staffer (who seriously looked bored and miserable) was nice enough to give me as many samples (it seemed) as I wanted to try, but I was the only person there and she had to come out from behind the counter to give me a new tasting cup each time.
The few flavors are fine, pretty generic like birthday cake, chocolate, vanilla, peanut butter, and the ONE greek yogurt based one was a black cherry (and probably the best of the bunch). Price is $.49 per ounce, and I think that they should have two sizes of cups instead of the one GIGANTIC bowl of a cup that is meant to make you spend more. The toppings are limited and not that great, less of the healthy options and more of the crowd pleasing types. But that makes sense given that during their peak season they primarily have tourists coming in. Oh, and it’s CASH ONLY — they have an ATM, but given that my small serving cost me $ 4.25, I’m sure that it wouldn’t hurt them if they took credit — in fact, it might INCREASE their sales (especially if they had a minimum like $ 5). Regardless, not my favorite place, so it’s a good thing I have better options close to home.

This is your run of the mill yogurt shop. The required tart flavors are in stock (my preference) and the more traditional Cookies n’ Cream and Cake Batter type flavors are there as well. It’s self-​serve, so like 99.9% of other self-​serve yogurt shops they went with the two (large) sized bowls — so definitely do not let that trick you into filling it full — you pay by the ounce not the bowl.
One concern, the tart flavors must not appeal to their typical crowd as I’ve had more than one flavor not be tart like it was other trips, but actually be sour like milk gone bad. My hunch is they do not make the yogurt fresh daily — which is kind of a shock as all it is is concentrate in a bag dumped into the machines that swirl it to keep it smooth.
Not too concerned about the pricing as it seems in line with other frozen yogurt shops around the city — but their quality doesn’t seem to measure up.

Not bad for a self-​serve FroYo place. There are several different flavors to choose from, about ½ of which are low-​fat or no-​fat. There are a bunch of different toppings and they’re all clearly labeled, which is definitely the best part.
They take LevelUp (if you’ve never heard of it, look it up — it’s awesome) and even have a LevelUp credit (I think it was $ 4 off?) for your first visit.
It does get to be a bit pricey because they charge by the weight. My boyfriend and I each get our cups about ½ full and it ends up being $ 7 – 8 for the two of us. But the service is usually friendly.

Stopped in here (cash only) after a production at Arden Theatre.
Our 7 year old said it was awful and the cake batter flavor made her sick.
The heat from the 4 yogurt machines (one was broken) was unbearable and the cashier was more interested in picking up her chinese take-​out.
Will not go back. There are many, many better fro-​yo spots in Philly.

Old City Frozen Yogurt is rad for the following reasons:
1) Cake Batter ice cream that’s as creamy as blended cake batter… and tastes like exaggerated cake batter.
2) All of the ice cream is creamy — even the Euro Tart and the Sorbet… so you get tart flavor without ice crystals. That’s really darn impressive.
3) There’s a nice, not overwhelming, selection of toppings, including sour squirty balls, Oreos, crushed candy bars, sauces, fruits and nuts… and mochi… soft mochi… fresh mochi…
3) They take Level Up.
(But they lack my precious cookie dough.)
AND SERIOUSLY it’s nice to know that Olde City has a great dessert place… because quite frankly, that one ice cream parlor isn’t all that good.

Just stopped by here for lunch and it was nice. Great choices of fro yo, many non-​fat, and excellent selection of toppings– what more can you ask for? It’s nice to have another option aside from ice cream at Franklin Fountain in that area. You pay by the ounce and it’s not too pricey if you don’t overload it!
Special note– It’s cash only for now.

We were on our way to Lucy’s Hat when we saw this frozen yogurt shop. It looked pretty new to me, but I haven’t been in Old city for a long time. We had just gotten froyo the night but I was determined to taste all frozen yogurts around the area.
It’s a cute little shop with do-​it-​yourself froyo machines. There were a variety of flavors but nothing too exotic. They had little sample cups to try the yogurt. Their machines flow really fast and trying to take a little sample was a feat. The pomegranate raspberry was sour. The original tart was missing something (it didn’t have that refreshing taste) and the vanilla was too much like ice cream. Their toppings also were pretty typical (no mochi though!).
A lackluster froyo BUT customer service was great!
